"Are you going to bandage it or not?" The doctor asked impatiently when he saw Qin Huiyin didn't say anything.

Qin Huiyin was catching up on the plot and was stunned for a moment. After hearing what the doctor said, she quickly responded, "Of course it needs to be bandaged. Buy two more bottles of medicine."

"One bottle is enough." Jiang Qibin said quickly, "One bottle costs one hundred coins, and I only spend three hundred coins repairing the dam for a month."

"You use one bottle, and keep the other for my brother." Qin Huiyin took the bottles from the medicine boy and stuffed both bottles into Song Ruize's hands. "When you build a dam, you will always encounter various bumps and bruises. Keeping some of this trauma medicine on hand can help you suffer less at critical moments. This bottle is a gift from me to my brother, so you have to return this one."

"Hehe..." Jiang Qibin touched his head, "Of course."

He looked at Song Ruize with envy. When Qin Huiyin left, he touched Song Ruize's arm: "Brother Ze, why didn't you mention that you have such a lovely sister?"

Song Ruize opened his mouth, but he couldn't say "She is not my sister".

He looked towards the door, then finally turned his head and looked at the doctor.

The doctor was bandaging Jiang Qibin, saying as he did so, "Luckily, no bones or muscles were injured. You just need to rest for a few days and wait for the wound to scab over. But since you guys have to repair the dam, even if you want to rest, I'm afraid the dammaster in charge of looking after you won't agree. I'll bandage you tightly to prevent it from coming apart and hindering the healing process."

"Thank you, doctor." Jiang Qibin said sweetly, "You are such a kind person."

The doctor sneered, "Don't flatter me. It's useless. I've lost a lot these past few days, so I'll be giving everyone the cold shoulder from now on. If I don't give you the cold shoulder, when I get home and my wife does the math, she'll find that I've lost money instead of making any profit. Then I'll have to kneel down and do the math all night..."

Jiang Qibin continued to flatter: "Hearing the doctor say this, I know you must love your wife. Only men who love their wives would be so henpecked."

The doctor hadn't meant to be so ruthless. Times were tough, and if he showed sympathy for others, he'd be the one to suffer. Now, hearing Jiang Qibin's words resonate with him, and seeing such a young child being forced to build a dam, and seeing how skinny he was, he knew he wasn't favored at home, which was why he was being ordered around doing such a hard job, his heart softened for a moment.

"Although I can't give you credit, I can give you a bowl of medicine for free. Wait, I'll ask the medicine boy to boil the medicine for you, and you can drink it before you leave."

The doctor was very busy, so he left Jiang Qibin and Song Ruize in the care of the medicine boy and went to take care of other patients.

Jiang Qibin's attention returned to Song Ruize.

"Brother Ze, how many people are there in your family?"

"One bite."

"You're lying. The girl who just paid for me wasn't a human being?"

"I just left for a while, and this is how you discuss your benefactor?" Qin Huiyin handed over the wontons she bought. "Eat quickly, I need to return the bowl."

Jiang Qibin was already starving, and now when he smelled the smell, his stomach started to growl without any cover.

He glanced at Song Ruize cautiously and asked, "Brother Ze, can you eat it? Anyway, I don't have to worry about having too much debt. I owe so much, so I don't need to worry about the money for this bowl of wontons!"

Song Ruize frowned: "You didn't leave?"

"I thought you might be hungry, so I went to find you something to eat. I've checked out several nearby shops, but this is the only place that has wontons that are so delicious I want to try them. If you don't believe me, try it."

Song Ruize took it, found a place to sit down, and started eating with a spoon.

Qin Huiyin walked to the counter and said to the medicine boy, "Do you have any herbs that can be used to make spices?"

"Do you want to make rouge and powder, or do you want to make incense?"

People often buy medicinal herbs to make these things, and the medicine boy has become accustomed to it, so she asked in more detail so that he could introduce different medicinal herbs to her.

"None of them. I want herbs that can be used in cooking. Adding them to dishes is not only harmless to the body, but also makes the dishes more delicious."

Medicine boy: "..."

"How about I take a look?" Qin Huiyin said, "If you pick out the herbs I want, I'll buy five pounds of each."

"Jin?" The medicine boy twitched his lips. "This is a medicine shop. I usually only hear about people selling by liang, but I've never seen them selling by jin, and five jin at that."

Qin Huiyin wanted to choose the herbs herself because she didn't know if the names of the herbs in the alternate dimension were different from what she knew. She felt that there were too few seasonings on the market, and she had to find a way to mix different seasonings herself.

"May I?"

"Let me ask Master. After all, medicinal herbs are different from ordinary things and cannot be handled by others. If something goes wrong with the herbs after passing through other people's hands, who will be held responsible?"

"I won't touch it. Just open the drawer and I'll take a look. If you want to confirm something, take a piece and let me smell and taste it. If I taste it and think it's okay, I'll buy five pounds."

The medicine boy asked Qin Huiyin to wait there and turned to go inside to ask the doctor for advice.

Jiang Qibin felt strange and asked Song Ruize, "What does your sister want to do? Medicinal herbs are very expensive. She asked for five kilograms right away. Does she have so much money? What does your sister do? She looks very capable."

Song Ruize said calmly: "The wound doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It hurts."

"Then shut up."

Jiang Qibin: "..."

Ever since he arrived at the dam construction site and met Song Ruize, his first reaction was that this person looked so special. He was uncontrollably attracted to him and tried every way to make his presence felt around him.

Their beds were very close, and he could see Song Ruize as soon as he turned around, and then he would enthusiastically talk to him. However, he said ten sentences, and Song Ruize only said one, and that sentence was - You are so noisy, shut up.

The medicine boy came out quickly and brought the news that the doctor agreed, as everyone expected. So, under the supervision of the medicine boy, Qin Huiyin checked the herbs in the medicine cabinet one by one.

"This...this...this...and this..."

"You want all five pounds?" Jiang Qibin limped over. "Sister, do you want to discuss this with your family?"

"No need, I'm the boss of our family." Qin Huiyin said, "Your medicine is ready, go take it!"

Jiang Qibin turned around and saw another medicine boy bringing the medicine. However, the medicine was very hot right out of the medicine cup and needed to cool down before drinking. Apparently, this "Song sister" found him too noisy.

They are indeed brother and sister, but they both think he is noisy.

"Two taels of silver and four hundred and fifty-seven coins."

Qin Huiyin took out a piece of silver.

Jiang Qibin's eyes widened. He nudged Song Ruize and said, "I thought you were as poor as me. Now I know I was blind. Your sister is so rich, you must be rich too!"

What kind of girl from an ordinary family would take out silver at any time? He had only seen silver in other people's hands all his life, and had never touched silver, okay? It was obvious that this Ze brother was also a rich man.
